I bought these babies today, and I also bought a porcelain pot, but I realized it doesn’t have holes, what I want to do is a little succulent garden, should I do it anyways with this porcelain pot? Or should I look for another option ?  
I was thinking maybe I can do holes on it, but I think I would break it because is a porcelain pot.  
What do you guys think?  
I need some help 🪴💕🙏🏼

Drill a hole in the bottom of the pot! You need diamond bit ends or something like that, a tray for water, and a mister! Drill at an angle first then straight down.

Look on YouTube for more info, that’s all I got.

Works every time, half the pots I find that I like never have holes so I get my dad or brother to drill holes because I don’t trust myself with sharp objects 💀

Other option would be keep all your individual succulents in their individual nursery pots and just stick them in the bowl clustered, then take some Spanish moss or that cool chartreuse colored stuff and tuck it in and around the top and of where are you see gaps for the illusion of a potted bowl. Then you just remove moss decor and remove each pot to water then put back in. Only takes a few mins and that way you have more control over when each plant gets watered and you can water all the way through.

Yes to this. I have a few plants in pots inside pots for this reason.

Danika’s idea is great!!!

And if you do go the drainage route, it is a little bit of a process, but worth it. Everything at a thrift store can become a succulent pot ha.
